How can I version-control and deploy a website's static files while preserving timestamps?Thanks, guys. Using Subversion with the use-commit-times flag sounds like the best solution here. (However, I've already started using CVS and will probably stay with it; it's good enough for now, uses timestamps the way I think an RCS should, and has the benefit of not requiring any extra software on the server.) Using ETags would be a clever solution, except they are not supported (well) by nginx which seems generally to be the best option for serving static websites.
